The TU Delft is also excellent. There's only so much blue I can stand. I do miss ny ex-wife's dad making olly bolla ever year for the holidays. The Dutch also spend the most money per capita on audio of any country. Not sure what there is to explain here, but yes, we're damn smart But lotsa great audio engineering goes on elsewhee too of course! You can keep the Double Zota Drop (sp?). Blech! |

oliebollen en dubbel zoute drop!
Acquired tastes, not unlike spicy food... No voucher are ahdned out though...highschool i simply both free and mandatory. Of which there are 4 levels, depending the students strengths and ambitions. And the Delft's blue tiles I have to bring to my american mother in law next time ; ) (with a windmill etc..)

W sez:
oliebollen en dubbel zoute drop! Acquired tastes, not unlike spicy food... Oliebollen is a much easier one to aquire. My ex-wife and I went to the beach with some other families and their kids. The kids saw her eating dubbel zoute drop and were so very disappointed when they tried it. I guess the difference in tastes between Zaandam and L.A. are wide when it comes to salted snacks. :-) |
